War memorial located on the south side of Cowbridge Road (A4222) in a small memorial garden with lawn, plant beds and a gravel area around its base.
The monument is in the form of a Celtic ring cross with tapered shaft on a chamfered, slightly tapered pedestal mounted on a square, tiered base, three steps up. The cross and all sides of the shaft are covered in interlace decoration except for a memorial panel (to the fallen from Pontyclun in both world wars) on the front (north) face of the shaft.
The front face of the plinth is inscribed with the names of those who fell in the First World War, and the east face with the dead of the Second World War (`2nd Great War?).
The monument is enclosed by iron railings on a dwarf wall.
